The amount of people that can’t handle a super basic rating of a news outlet is chilling.
I know and accept that I rely on biased media, because all of it is biased. It’s media, not scientific papers (which are also often biased btw.). Having a bias does not automatically make it bad.
I care a lot about factual reporting tho. And I want to see the same news from different POVs, with different biases, because they will highlight different things. If you don’t, mute the bot, get your daily dose of whatever propaganda you like so much and stfu.
And no, this is not ‘centrism’. I’m pretty sure most people who use that word don’t even know what it means. Historically, centrism describes a moderate left-wing view. Centrists are the center of left.
The only bias in my scientific papers is in the data! But we compensate for it and if you approve our next grant we totally promise we’ll be able to reduce that bias. So give us more funding pretty please!
unavailability of trash cans (in a convenient distance)
inability to pay for trash disposal (this includes transport of heavy items or a large quantity of)
creation of jobs associated with trash removal (often including arguments that tax payers fund those jobs and as a taxpayer it’s their right to litter)
Exaggerated are these issues by low social education fueling short sightedness (“out of view out of mind”). So people lacking the understanding that somebody has to pay for removal of that waste.
My brother and I were, like, 7 and 10, respectively, when we played this. Some things on the list were obvious, others (the heck is a “slalom”?!) we had to guess just by doing every possible thing you could do with a car. A couple day’s work, bada-bing bada-boom.
Completely untrue. They would watch some loud obnoxious guy on YouTube teach you how to do it in a clickbait video that’s 10 minutes and 5 seconds long with a sponsor.
It’s a possibility, if they really wanna play the game. Nowadays we are so spoiled for choice that we would just either switch to another game or pick up the phone.
You make it sound bad. If a game doesn’t entertain me or does annoy me, i move on. Back then there was no “on”. Not many games around, might as well stick with what you have.
Germany’s problem, that other countries don’t have, is the “Schuldenbremse” (debt break). The USA and China are heavily investing by taking on debt while Germany isn’t investing anything and can barely keep public services alive.
If only it was just the public sector. I do agree with you, but the problem is cultural. It’s not just the government. None of the big or smaller corporations or companies are investing either.
What these folks do is essentially bulk-import cheap laptops from the USA, UAE, Singapore or Hong Kong to your country, and bump it by around 50 to 100$ to make a profit out of it.
Try looking for trusted international shipping options from Singapore or Hong Kong, because this price is pretty expensive for a almost six-year old laptop - you should be looking at 280$, at max for a 8th gen processor.
If you can wait, have a relative in the US get a slightly modern model for cheap through them, this way you don’t have to pay shipping, insurance and customs.
And just a word of warning - please verify the laptop model using it’s serial number. Check carefully if there are any discrepancies.
Thanks a lot but I have no idea as to where to even begin with the search for trusted international shipping options. Any advice on that?
I’m also not from the states so tough luck with relatives 😄
How can I use the serial number to verify? Where and what to look for? Should I ask the shop before buying to show me the serial number? It’s an online-only store.

Head onto support.lenovo.com/id/en/parts-lookup and enter the part number. Shops will provide you with serial number - if they don’t, ask them. If they don’t comply with your request (and given how you’re already overpaying), don’t even bother buying those devices. It has every information you’ll need - specification, remaining warranty time-period, option and even the page to look for exact parts.

On the contrary, I was going to ask a fellow Asian for discounted stuff to import to India - I had also considered shipping old laptops from China to India, but I can’t read or understand Mandarin. Right now, I am considering to either get refurbished laptops through one of my relatives living in the east coast (for which, I’ll have to wait till November, and I’m fine with that), or pay the hefty shipping, insurance and customs (which would still be cheaper than buying locally, to be honest).
There’s another option: 14 inch T14 i7-10610U, 16GB RAM, 256GB storage for 400usd (also used, directly from the US). Would that be better than the Carbon?
Check “green blue” deployment strategy. This is done by many businesses, where an interrupted service might mean losing a sale, or a client forever… I tried it sometime witj Nginx but it was more pain than gain (for my personal use)
Good suggestion. I’ve done blue-green professionally with services that are built to have high availability and in cloud environments. If I were to actually setup some form of that, I’d probably use ZFS send/rcv to keep a backup server always 15 minutes behind and ready to go. I wouldn’t deal with file-based backups that take an hour to just walk the dataset to just figure out what’s new. 😅 Probably not happening for now.
Not necessarily. Proper LED drivers adjust voltage to feed them a certain specified current. The driver will decrease voltage and heat more if it’s a basic transistor circuit but smarter circuits will just chop the power more. Even if it does supply the higher voltage due to use of a basic resistor circuit, there should be some safety factor that keeps the emitters below max power, so having 8% higher voltage shouldn’t affect longevity much. There’s many variables. Obviously everything I listed is regarding ideal conditions
I confronted someone for littering and with a completely sincere face they said they’re creating jobs for the people cleaning the streets 💫 so does that mean murderers are creating jobs for homicide detectives?
I once convinced one of my aunts that leaving your cart out gives companies another excuse to raise prices again
(not that I actually think that’s true; i just didn’t want to feel like an butthole for leaving our cart out)
